As a non binary person and woman I was treated with dignity and respect by the staff of the YHA and allowed to wait in tge television lounge
Only negative was a lot of old people in the hostel as guests with their outdated attitudes towards LGBTQI+ people
I did arrive in the dark and sat nav took me to the entrance but, small signage I missed so walked short distance to hostel to find you can drive through archway to car park and entrance.
but I will know next time,
I also booked breakfast (at a fair price) which I did enjoy,
all staff I found was pleasant and helpful,
so thank,s everyone how made my stay stress free,
